Enes Kanter to Jeremy Lin: You’ve betrayed the Chinese people, sold out to “dirty Chinese communist party”

[muzzhawk]

Did anyone actually explain what Jeremy Lin actually did? Was it because he played in the CBA? So what?!

And his people and country? I thought Jeremy Lin and his Family were American....

I think it's just that he's playing for Beijing and he's of Taiwanese heritage, and given China's attitudes towards Taiwan Kanter presumably believes it's a betrayal on Lin's behalf towards Taiwanese people.

After Enes went on Tucker Carlson and called it the best day of his life I have a hard time taking it seriously when he criticizes anybody.

Not much difference being with Anderson Cooper on CNN, on MSNBC or any other mainstream network, they are all bad.

I hope somebody checks him really hard on the court, what a annoying creature

Wang Zhizhi about to make a comeback and lay the hammer down!

Yep or Chris Cuomo. We all know how it worked out for him lol

[Clyde Frazier]

Sad that "enes kanter was largely a negative impact player during his career" isn't even close to the worst thing about him now.

[Mickey8]

This guy is an idiot officially. Speak your mind and say what you believe, stop telling others what they should be saying. Clown Kanter.

Plus like J Lin can actually stop China from taking over Taiwan lol. When will Kanter talk about Saudi Arabia rights for women and the LBGT community? You get executed for being gay, Kanter speak up you dummy.

I do agree Kanter is kinda cherry picking (no better than LeBron in this regard). In many of the Muslim countries including Turkey, you still get executed for being gay as you mentioned, in addition to women being sub-human.

I think we could criticize Kanter this way if he was getting money from Saudi or any of those countries. If one is going to counter criticize him, it should be in accordance with his criticisms. Kanter seems to be calling people out if they are getting paid by China or making money directly via China in some way. I don't really agree with his methods as it lacks tactfulness and nuance, but as far as I know, Kanter isn't getting money or profiting directly due to any of those countries/regimes.

Does it really matter, he;s getting paid by the rich billionaires who are rich because of other people earns them loads of money by being underpaid, there is injustice everywhere including USA, wake up already.

nope. Tucker is a total POS. there is a differnence between being a biased news network and fomenting hatred.

And Cooper is known as being somebody who used to work for CIA , CNN is the Pentagon's mouthpiece.

To be fair this is a strawman, no? I don’t think anybody here is defending CNN or MSNBC. Anybody in the media trying to get us into another war is abhorrent, need it be Hannity or Tapper.

Trust me, I’ve read everything. I know all about it

Er...Enes is not Saudi.
Actually I'm not sure what he is now since I think King Erdogan officially exiled him for being a pain in his behind.

He's a Sunni Muslim , even though Turkey have history of the conflicts with Saudi Arabia they share the same religion and of course he wont call them against the genocide of Shia Muslims in Yemen , because they are enemy .

[donnieme]

Only Enes dummy Kanter could find a way to be hated for speaking out against China. What an incredibly pretentious way to push a good cause. I can no longer tell if he's pushing the cause or just celebrating his stance.

[Mephariel]

Exactly. When will he start calling out Muslim countries? And playing for China is betraying his people? There are many companies in Taiwan that do business in China. So anybody in Taiwan working in those companies are betraying their people too? Kanter is just a joke.

[BeatDaCavs420]

This guy is mental and is doing this for clout at this point

[DaPessimist]

This guy going the full-on Kaepernick post-career social justice warrior route. I expect to see a documentary in the near future.

I don’t think that’s the issue. I think it’s more that his criticism is narrow, and if you are against racism or anything else, it should apply to all people. All situations. Him being conservative or liking Tucker isn’t the issue.

You can't make standing up to authoritarianism your brand, and then go on a TV show that celebrates authoritarians.

Yeah Tucker is probably the worst person on TV right now and that’s saying a lot. No equivalence. And Enes letting himself get used by Tucker says a lot about him.

I feel like Kanter and Irving need to do some show together, like a road trip to inform people about the "Truth"

[LivingLegend]

I think a famous musician once said "Strap him with a AK-47 and let him go. Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way"

[Mickey8]

Anderson Cooper,Don Lemon,Rachel Maddow etc. are bad as Tucker Carlson, Tucker used to work for CNN, he learned his trade there. CNN to me is the lowest of the low , MSNBC is the copy of them but CNN is just pure trash all around.
